Brewer ran right on that last drive, our tackler stayed high and kept his eyes up... and our tackler helmet to helmet popped Brewer’s head back. And the commentators lauded that hit, a hit YOU ALL are saying is the right way to tackle.

When in fact... those are the dangerous tackles you want to avoid and penalize. Y’all are so fucking stupid.

LULZ

You should probably just STFU, ya flaming idiot.

Head before body. Eyes down. Thigh level.

It was all the same...
tackle low.
Tackle with head first (like all tackles)
Tackle with eyes down (like almost all tackles)

that’s it

Why do you need one. He did a straight regular form tackle. Head and eyes down. Helmet at crotch level. The ball was there instead of the runner’s head because the runner didn’t voluntarily throw himself down at the moment of tackle like in Roach’s case

Right he went at thigh/waist level with eyes and helmet down... like every other form tackle ever. .

On what one? He got form tackled. No penalty needed. Which is what I’ve been saying since the top post.
You idiots want the tackler to come in high and head Butt the runners.

Head up/Chin up

That means eyes up.

You are the only mf'er on the planet on the wrong side of this.

Keep Your Head Up

"Keeping your head up will serve three main purposes -- first, you’ll be able to react adequately to any moves he makes. Too frequently, young players will look down while tackling, which makes last-second evasions even easier. Secondly, you'll be able find the football and put your facemask on it, this will increase your chances of knocking it out. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, keeping your head up will reduce your risk of getting a concussion. Poor form, especially with younger athletes, can lead to brutal concussions."

Iron Bowl 2019. 4Q.

Barn Running back put his head and his eyes down and led with the crown. Helmets collided. According to y’all: negate TD, 15 yard penalty, and ejection.

the RB hit a defenseless receiver? He’s a dunce because the only receivers on the field play on his team.

Lmao. No one tackles like that after pee wee football. Stop trying to tell this lie. Google images will show you every form tackle in the history of ever is with eyes down. No one runs into an incoming 230lbs super athlete with their head cocked back and their hands held gingerly shoulder width apart. Fuck. You idiots will say anything. Lol.

Here’s another guy doing a perfect form tackle, trying his best to cock his head to the side and catch the runner with his shoulder... guess what... his head is still first... and helmets are going to bump because the runner crouched at the end. So according to y’all: 15 yards, free first down, and player ejected for two halves.

another article about proper tackling techniques. Guess what. Head first. Eyes down. Because that’s what tackling is.

Eyes down. Head before shoulders. Per usual. Because that’s what tackles are.
